Undisputed boxing champion Savannah Marshall is making her MMA debut at PFL Europe this week. She'll be stepping out of her boxing shoes and into the PFL Smart Cage when she takes on Mirela Vargas on Saturday, June 8.
Unfortunately for US fans, there's no way for us to watch the fight live. The PFL Europe division doesn't have a broadcast deal in the United States so unless you want to use a VPN to watch on DAZN, we have to wait for the highlights to hit Twitter.

PFL Europe is similar to what the PFL season is in the United States but it's a smaller season with less fighters and just a few divisions. Hisotrically the winner of the PFL Europe season would have the option of competing in the next season. This is how Dakota Ditcheva found her way from PFL Europe to PFL Global.
Marshall will be competing for the first time in MMA and told FanSided MMA that she only joined the PFL to eventually fight Claressa Shields, whom she fought and lost to in boxing.
"That's what got me to agree," Marshall told FanSided MMA. "If they'd have come to me and said 'you interested in joining our league' I'd have said no. I'm a 32-year-old, I don't want to be going up against girls who have a black belt in BJJ and have been wrestling since school."
